The development of coffee leaf rust ( Hemileia vastatrix ) was studied at Pindorama, SaTo Paulo State, Brazil, on a non‐sprayed coffee plantation (cv. Mundo Novo). The disease intensity, evaluated by the proportion of rusted leaves, was lower during January and increased to reach its highest values in June‐July. Stepwise regression analysis was used to identify the meteorological factors influencing coffee rust Rain and temperature explained most of the variation in the coffee leaf rust development.
